5.1.2
Thermocouple Input Data Type/Format
The SP-005 supports extended configuration and provides factory calibration. All data values are returned as 32-bit
floating point values.

5.1.2.1
Data Type
The 4-bit Data Type field determines the type of data of the specific sensor.
5.1.2.2
Factory Calibrate
The Factory Calibrate bit is used during factory calibration. If set, the factory calibration attributes are applied to the
sensor reading before the sensor scaling. If clear, not factory calibration attributes are applied. If the sensor does not
support factory calibration the Factory Calibrate bit is ignored and will always read as 0.
5.1.2.3
Sensor Writeable
If the Sensor Writeable bit is set the sensor value may be overwritten with a preset value. This capability is useful in
sensors such as up/down counters, where a preset, or possibly a zero value must be written to the sensor value.
5.1.2.4

Smart Sensor Device Interface

For more information on Gain and Offset, refer to the Smart Sensor Manual. If set, the user defined Offset and Gain
values will be used to adjust the sensor reading:
Result = (Raw Reading * Gain) + Offset
